Studies of ten () heads and two ears (recto); Studies of three figures and a head (verso). Artist: Gerard David (Netherlandish, Oudewater ca. 1455-1523 Bruges). Dimensions: sheet: 5 1/4 x 3 3/4 in. (13.3 x 9.5 cm). Date: ca. 1498.No more than ten drawings are known by Gerard David, the last great early Netherlandish painter, by whom there are more paintings in the Museum than in any other collection in the world. Most of David's drawings are executed in metalpoint on prepared paper. Some, like this one, are inscribed with numbers in a fifteenth- or sixteenth-century hand that probably record their original order in the sketchbook to which they must have belonged, and they show the same damage, probably caused by humidity, in the lower half of the sheet. Unlike earlier Northern artists, David used the stylus in a loose manner, and the liveliness and freshness of observation strongly suggest that this drawing was made directly from life. None of the heads appear in any of David's known

Six Stages of Mending a Face, Dedicated with respect to the Right Hon-ble. Lady Archer May 29, 1792 Thomas Rowlandson Rowlandson mocks the extreme measures that an aging socialite pursues to appear young and beautiful. She is shown unadorned at upper right-bald, toothless, half-blind and with fallen breasts-then progressively mends” herself by inserting a false eye and teeth, putting on a long curled wig, and transforming her face and arms with cosmetics. Fashionable clothes and jewelry, and rouge applied with a rabbit’s foot, complete the illusion, until she is ready to attend a masquerade. Lady Sarah Archer, evoked in the print’s dedication, was often mocked by caricaturists for her heavy use of cosmetics. In the eighteenth century make-up was popular among upper class women but also was much criticized. Since face paint and rouge often contain high levels of lead, they could be dangerous, and their users were condemned for sacrificing health to vanity.. Six Stages of Mending a Face
